RED: Co-pastoring couple (Ernest + Sharon) per published church framing; Sharon as worldwide women's-conference speaker. AG ordains women since 1914 — denominationally egalitarian. Per MOOP rubric, female pastor (even if husband-and-wife co-pastoring frame) is RED minimum.

Assessment
Conroe First Assembly of God is the church where MOOP (Adam Johns) grew up; he graduated from Lifestyle Christian School (K4-12), which is the church's K-12 ministry (~200 students). Senior Pastors Ernest & Sharon Fridge since 2016 (Pastor Lloyd & Pat Maddoux were the previous long-tenure pastors during MOOP's childhood era). YELLOW personal-history rating: MOOP's formative-years attendance is historically meaningful but does not extend to current-trajectory endorsement under the MOOP rubric — AG's denominational egalitarianism (women in pastoral office) and the husband-wife co-pastor framing of the current senior leadership both pull the gender/leadership scores RED.
